I. Introduction
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) provide pivotal assistance for tactical missions. A UAV on the battlefield communicates with a ground control station (GCS) using a beyond line of sight satellite link or a line of sight tactical data link. This system is collectively referred to as an Unmanned Aerial System (UAS). The US Department of Defense (DOD) classifies UAVs into five categories that help identify similar types of UAVs across several dimensions such as size, operational limitations, and physics-based mobility capabilities [1]. A large UAV such as the MQ-9 Reaper is classified as group 5 UAV while a smaller UAV such as the Wasp III is classified as group 1 UAV. Group 1 UAVs are comparatively resource-constrained in terms of computation, memory, communications, and battery power. However, they offer scalable and flexible deployment for battlefield missions in urban areas.
